Kershaw Blur Tanto Black Serrated Knife (1670TBLKST)

Description

The Kershaw Blur Tanto Black Serrated Knife (1670TBLKST) is a high-performance, USA-made folding knife designed for efficient everyday use and demanding work tasks. Its tactical styling is matched by its practical features, making it a reliable tool for a wide range of cutting and piercing needs. The knife’s core is its distinct tanto blade, known for its angled shape that provides superior piercing power by placing more steel behind the point. For added versatility, the blade includes partial serration, which excels at cutting through fibrous materials like webbing or rope, ensuring you’re prepared for varied situations. The blade is constructed from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, a material selected for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall robustness. This is further protected by a black Cerakote coating, which enhances durability and provides a non-reflective finish. The handle is crafted from 6061-T6 anodized aircraft aluminum, offering both light weight and resistance to scratches and fading. Integrated Trac-Tec inserts on the handle ensure a secure and comfortable grip, even in challenging conditions. Deployment is quick and smooth thanks to Kershaw’s SpeedSafe® assisted opening mechanism, allowing for easy one-handed access via the ambidextrous thumb studs. Once open, an inset liner lock securely holds the blade in place for safe operation. The reversible pocket clip accommodates various carry preferences, making the Blur Tanto an adaptable companion for any task.

HOW TO USE:

1. Opening the Blade: To open the knife, locate the thumb stud on either side of the blade. Apply firm, outward pressure to the thumb stud with your thumb. The SpeedSafe assisted opening mechanism will engage, swiftly deploying the blade into its open and locked position.
2. Gripping the Handle: Once the blade is open, securely grip the handle. The Trac-Tec inserts are designed to provide a firm and comfortable hold. Ensure your fingers are clear of the blade’s edge.
3. Performing Cutting Tasks: Use the blade for your intended cutting or piercing task. The tanto tip is effective for piercing, while the plain edge handles general slicing, and the serrated section is best for tougher materials like rope.
4. Closing the Blade: To close the knife, firmly grasp the handle and locate the liner lock mechanism inside the handle, near the pivot. Push the liner lock to the side (away from the blade’s tang) with your thumb, disengaging the lock. Carefully fold the blade back into the handle well, keeping your fingers clear of the closing path. Ensure the blade is fully seated and secured in the closed position.
5. Pocket Carry: Utilize the reversible pocket clip to attach the knife to your pocket, belt, or gear for convenient and secure carry. You can typically change the clip’s position (tip-up or tip-down, right side) by unscrewing and re-screwing it.
